C. COMPLEX Egyptian Politics Explains Much (My interpretation)

1. Tutmose the first -- started killing the boys born to the Hebrews

2. Nefure/Hattie (Hatshepsut) hates this, rescues Moses; maybe 13 years old

3. Her father dies when she is about 15. She marries her half-brother, Tutmose II, who is now a co-regent and stops the slaughter; the Egyptians hate her because she loves foreigners and she controls her husband and when her dad dies, the government.

4. Tutmose II dies after only 13 years reigning; Hattie (Hatshepsut) seizes the throne while Tutmoses III, an illegitimate hated step-son (still a child), becomes a co-regent without much power; Hattie (Hatshepsut) spoils Moses, make him Grand Vizier. She claims she has had visions that the gods want her to be Pharaoh and that her father, Tutmose I, had wanted her to be Pharaoh.

5. In summary, Hattie (Hatshepsut) is in power and wants Moses (Senmut) to be her heir. Her stepson ages, and begins demanding his rightful place as Pharaoh, but is frustrated because Hattie (Hatshepsut) and Senmut have more power.

6. Moses becomes moved to deliver his people, the Hebrews; he begins visiting them more often and trying to rally them. Then Senmut (Moses) mysteriously disappears. A year later, something happens to Hattie (Hatshepsut) –possibly assassinated -- and Tutmose III takes the reigns.

7. I would suggest to you that this mysterious disappearance of Senumt was caused when Moses killed the Egyptian. He took off, because now Tutmose III would have a pretext to declare him a traitor and seize real control of Egypt. Without Senmut’s leadership, Hattie (Hatshepsut) can no longer resist her stepson.

8. After Hatshepsut dies, Tutmose writes graffiti on her tomb and accuses her and Senmut of all sorts of sexual obscentities. which is why some Egyptologists think that Hattie (Hatshepsut) and Senmut were lovers. If my theory is correct, they were simply a step mom and son very devoted to one another. Tutmose III tries to destroy all records of Hattie (Hatshepsut) and Senmut.
